Question

Complete the following table using the molarities you calculated for each buffer in Part 1. Using a 10 mL aliquot of the buffer, show the change in mmoles when 0.01 mL of 2.0M HCl is added to the buffer. Predict the change in pH after the addition.



Complete the following table using the molarities you calculated for each buffer in Part 1. Using a 10 mL aliquot of the buffer, show the change in mmoles when 0.01 mL of 2.0M NaOH is added to the buffer. Predict the change in pH after the addition.

Buffer # Initial moles of Tris-HCL Initial moles of Tris Post Addition of HCL
mmol of Tris-HCl Post Addition of HCL
mmol of Tris Predicted pH Buffer 1 0.000175 7.5e-05


Buffer 2 0.0001875 6.25e-05


Buffer 3 0.00015 0.0001


Explanation / Answer

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

For Tris base at room temperature pKa is 8.08

Molarity of HCl =

X= 0.0007292g of HCl = 0.00002

HCL will reduce the amount of Tris base and increase the amount of Tris-HCl

So, new moles of Tris base for Buffer 1

=0.000055 moles of Tris base

new moles of Tris-HCl for Buffer 1

0.000195 moles of Tris-HCl

For Buffer 1 predicted pH will be

pH = 8.08 +

Similarly for another
